Just searching around found this interesting paper:

PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION -- AN INTERDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL
Reducing Sexist Attitudes as a Result of Completing an Undergraduate
Psychology of Gender Course
Now what positive incentives can we offer to get some of these guys to
take some sort of online course that they or we or someone could put
together. A really great barnstar??
